Description

This page covers a BIOS dump, supplied as a RAR archive named 5252.rar and roughly 1 MB in size. The facts available do not name a brand, model, board number or flash chip, so check the archive contents and the original Telegram post against your board before using it. Technicians use a BIOS dump like this to reprogram the SPI flash chip with a programmer after a corrupted BIOS or a failed update. Confirm that the board number and revision match your motherboard, and back up the original chip contents before writing anything.

Questions about this file

How do I flash this BIOS dump?

Write it to the SPI flash chip with a programmer such as the CH341A and a SOIC8 clip. Read and keep the original contents first, and check that the chip size matches the dump.

Will this BIOS work on my board?

Only if the board number and revision match: 5252. Dumps from a different board or revision can leave the board dead.

What does “clean ME” mean?

The Intel ME region in the dump has been reset, so it can be used on another board of the same model. Keep your original dump and transfer serial numbers if needed.
